Unfortunately, spam is everywhere, in every single form of communication. I worked a temp assignment for an office and half of my job involved me getting rid of spam. I can't tell you how many spam calls I received trying to sell something to my company. The poor people on the other end were so persistent, desperate even. I had to waste my time informing them I could not give them such information or transferring them to a voicemail so they could leave more spam for someone else. Then I had to collect the mail. I would sort through it putting each item into the proper slot, but then there were tons of magazines, ads, faxes, postcards, ect trying to sell something. So much paper wasted! So much thrown away. Lastly I had to constantly monitor how much junk mail was entering our email. I can tell you now that my time was being wasted. This whole process of spamming is a waste. I thought this entry brought up a good point about ethics and how most spam provides no good to society. It's just something else to burden our lives. I think the whole idea of spam is terrible.
